QDNA^®  Epigenetics | Behavioral Genes - Are Your Neanderthal
Caveman Genes A Genetic Obstacle To You Now?

Epigenetics, Neuroplasticity, Positive, Psychology and Conscious Evolution

Are your Neanderthal Caveman genes creating a genetic obstacle for you to achieve what you would like to achieve in your life now? Is your mind running on automatic pilot, looping negative and useless genetic programs that are holding you hostage and prisoner to your limiting beliefs?

You use your mind 24/7. In actuality your mind also uses you, without you even being aware of it. Your mind has been prehistorically programmed since the Neanderthal Caveman days and it's been controlling your behavior everyday. Prehistoric adaptive thinking motivates you for lack, aggression, competition, conflict, prejudice, stress, mistaken perceptions, fear, worry, despair, depression, etc. The prehistoric mind can affect your health and well being negatively, along with blocking the possibility of joy, happiness, justice and world peace.

Research has shown that humans carry twenty percent Neanderthal genes. DNA is passed on from generation to generation. Segments are decoded and recoded so that genetic material inherited from any one individual becomes distributed with that of other ancestors.

Your genetic makeup includes 25,000 genes that you inherited from your parents, and you may see the commonalities in appearance and personality. Your genetic roots go back much earlier to ancestors that roamed the African savannas. Our brain has not changed much since 100,000 years ago, and this at times causes behavioral problems in the modern world.

Svante Pääbo is the Director of the Department of Genetics at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany. This is where he headed the Neanderthal Genome Project and found a sequence of the Neanderthal genome (Green et al. 2010). This study produced evidence consistent with interbreeding between Neanderthals and anatomically modern Homo sapiens and points to aspects of the human genome that may have changed since the split between humans and Neanderthals.

Neil deGrasse Tyson says, "Let's say intelligence is your ability to compose poetry, symphonies, do art, math and science. Chimps can't do any of that, yet we share 99 percent DNA. Everything that we are, that distinguishes us from chimps, emerges from that one-percent difference."

Our guest James D. Baird, Ph.D. wrote "Behavioral Genes: Why We Do What We Do and How to Change" and he states, "We humans behave in mysterious ways. We fight for seemingly no reason, eat too much, make our selves and others unhappy, and behave in all sorts of self-defeating ways. The root cause of our mysterious behaviors is that 30-50% of what we do is driven by genes inherited from our prehistoric ancestors. But we needn't be trapped by those genes or those behaviors! The new science of Epigenetics proves that genes are not necessarily destiny. These exciting new discoveries are already being used by medical organizations."

Dr. Baird is a best selling author and a renaissance man with forty years of experience as a successful inventor and graduate engineer who pioneered a new science of "ultrasonics", earning him several patents. As a successful entrepreneur he founded Dynasonics, Inc., a design and manufacturing company of ultrasonic sensors and computers. His inventory background instilled in him a persistent curiosity about how things work, translating from mechanisms to life. His passion for understanding the bioengineering that makes us human, combined with his religious and spiritual beliefs, led him to research the subject of happiness for more than twenty years, and in the process earned him a Ph.D. in Natural Health.  Dr. Baird studied genetics, common behaviors and researched behavioral Epigenetics, which holds the promise of modifying behavior by changing gene expression. He is the author of six books on human behavior, "Behavioral Genes", "Happiness Genes", "Obesity Genes", "Mindful Meals Diet", "Modern Christian Happiness Plan", and "The Happiness Plan".

Our wonderful altruistic guest is James D. Baird, Ph.D., a best selling author and a renaissance man with forty years of experience as a successful inventor and graduate engineer. A pioneer in the new science of "ultrasonics", Baird has earned several patents and as a successful entrepreneur. He founded Dynasonics, Inc., a design and manufacturing company of ultrasonic sensors and computers. His inventory background instilled in him a persistent curiosity about how things work, translating from mechanisms to life. His passion for understanding the bioengineering that makes us human, combined with his religious and spiritual beliefs has led him to research the subject of happiness for more than twenty years, and in the process, earned him a Ph.D. in Natural Health.

Dr. Baird studied genetics, common behaviors and researched behavioral Epigenetics, which holds the promise of modifying behavior by changing gene expression. He is the author of six books on human behavior, "Behavioral Genes", "Happiness Genes", "Obesity Genes", "Mindful Meals Diet", "Modern Christian Happiness Plan", and "The Happiness Plan". Dr. Baird has won many awards and appeared on major TV stations and dozens of radio shows.

Dr. Baird was the founder of Happiness Ministries, a not-for-profit ministry that produced inspirational texts. His first two books "The Happiness Plan" and "The Modern Christian’s Happiness Plan" are based upon the premise that happiness comes from altruistic ethics and behavioral choices that put into action such spiritual qualities as loving-kindness and compassion. Dr. Baird has been involved with many religious organizations including nursing homes, churches, and charitable organizations. He was chairman of Catholic Charities for about 8 years. Dr. Baird is also the chairman of the Chicago chapter of the American Scientific Associations, a national professional association whose members are scientists who believe in God. The organization’s mission is to bring harmony to science and religion.
